I came across a couple of web sites that seem to suggest that the MG may offer a larger 73kW battery for the MG ZS EV at some point early to late 2022.

Both sites I think are Indian sites so I hope that, if true, a larger battery would be an option on European variations in future.

I've been told by a dealer in the know that a bigger battery and facelift was coming next year, I was under the impression it would be around 60kWh though. Apparently once the newer battery comes out the price would go up to the RRP with no discount unless offered by individual dealerships.

For how much more?

That's MYLR Size.

The fact they skipped the 50ish kwh pack suggests they will keep the 44kwh.

Also 500km using which ruler?

Don't know wether anyone else has noticed, but on the MG website, there is no longer a contribution towards the cost of the ZS EV - so only PICG £3k off now from the £30.5k rrp !!

Still there on mine

Yep - Good job we got in early. Helps with the value of ours in later years.

I think that's only on a PCP deal from them - but I guess with a bit of skullduggery, it's still there - they either want those PCP deals, or it's a sign !

I think when we were looking at the ZS in Feb the discount was only on finance deals could be wrong though.

On the point of a larger battery, I think there is plenty of space even on our current cars. Look at all this free space under the car:

I recon if that space can be filled with additional battery the range of the ZS EV could be extended to 800 miles 😜

Aye, interestingly the space where the ICE fuel tank goes wasn't used for the battery at all, hence the big void waiting for extra cells

Maybe in the future there will be some scope for home modding!

Independent rear suspension, a rear motor, and more cells - plenty of room just might need to do without the spare wheel.
